The Future-Past Is Disabled

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

This chapter discusses the Haitian artist collective Atis Rezistans, and frames their work as Afro-Surrealist. In doing so, the chapter attends to ableism, and the ways it is shaped through time, capitalism, productivity, and ecology. Atis Rezistans uses discarded materials, which flow from the United States to Haiti in a misinformed attempt at aid. Their art is discussed here as an anti-imperialist critique of pollution and waste and way to honor bodies in the future-past altered and made sick by environmental racism.
